By varying the material property of the structure such as young’s modulus of concrete (E) in percentages
of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25in the bridge deck slab imposing/inducing damage to the structure and locating it.
Using maximum bending moment getting from the bridge model in the Mu/bd2 value from SP 16 code
analyzing the model for damage.
Variation of mode shapes, fundamental frequencies, node displacements are to be found out.
III. MODELING AND ANALYSIS
Modelling using STAAD.pro V8i SS6 Software
STAAD pro is a robust program that can profoundly intensify analytical and design abilities of engineer’s for
structures. Functioning of simple or complex structures under stationary or dynamic states can be checked
using STAAD pro. Instinctive and unified traits make implementations of any complicated practical problem to
implement. For this bridge, plate modelling has been considered and STAAD.Pro has been used for further
process.

ANALYSIS
Pre analysis checks Before analysing the model, it should be checked to know whether there is any error. Then
the model should be rectified until no errors come.
Post analysis checks After a model is analysed by STAAD.Pro it is very important to check the basic
characteristics of the model.
The Maximum Bending moment in the deck slab under original design properties is noted and M u/bd2 from SP
16 code provision for percentage of steel in tension and compression is considered.
The associated mode shapes, frequencies, and node displacement in the deck slab with the original design
properties are noted/considered for analysis.
For inducing damage/failure on the bridge deck slab, the Young’s modulus of concrete (E is reduced in
percentages of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25,.etc. ) is changed in the mid span section of the bridge deck slab.
Under reduced Young’s modulus of concrete (E is reduced in percentages of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25,.etc. ) in the deck
slab of the bridge and due to change in strength property of concrete, the change in the maximum bending
moment in the deck slab at each percentage of reduction of young’s modulus of concrete(E) is noted and
considered for analysis.
The failure occurring in the deck slab of the bridge at particular percentage of reduced young’s modulus of
concrete (E) is identified by comparing Mu/bd2 value of the deck slab under original design properties with that
of the Mu/bd2 value of the deck slab under reduced Young’s modulus of concrete (E is reduced in percentages of
5, 10, 15, 20, 25,.etc. ) in the deck slab of the bridge.
Then, the associated mode shapes, frequencies, and node displacement in the deck slab with the reduced
Young’s modulus of concrete (E is reduced in percentages of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25,.etc. ) in the deck slab of the bridge
